Bureau S.
Luo Bing hurriedly arrived at the director's office.
He said anxiously, "Director, I just heard some news. The Martial Group plans to take over Tianyun Club. As far as I know, Gao Yan also owns one-third of the shares in Tianyun Club!"
“I already know!” Director Luo nodded.
"Shouldn't we stop it?" Luo Bing asked, staring at Director Luo.
How to stop it?
A hint of helplessness flashed in Director Luo's eyes: "Although our S Bureau and the Martial Group are units of the same level, the gap in strength between the two is too great. Moreover, the higher-ups are already planning to merge our S Bureau into the Martial Group!"
"On what grounds?"
Luo Bing retorted, unconvinced.
"The Martial Arts Group has one Gang Jin level expert and more than ten Dan Jin level experts, while our S Bureau has at most one Dan Jin level expert!"
Director Luo smiled bitterly: "Back then, when our S Bureau was established, we were so full of vigor, thinking that we could unite the martial arts world with the Nine Dan Jin. But what happened? The Nine Dan Jin were ambushed and killed by the five super martial arts families, which directly broke the backbone of our S Bureau. Therefore, the higher-ups have long been dissatisfied with our S Bureau."
Later, when the Martial Arts Group was formed, our S Bureau was needed to provide cover for it.
We were only able to stay because of this; otherwise, we would have been laid off long ago.
Today, the Martial Arts Group has successfully risen to prominence.
Our S Bureau has thus fulfilled its mission and task.
Our existence has become meaningless. Not disbanding us outright and merging us into the Martial Arts Group is already the best outcome!
"I understand now. No wonder the higher-ups have been withholding our funding. It turns out they've been planning to cut us for a long time!"
Luo Bing's face showed more dissatisfaction: "Although our strength is not as good as the Martial Group, we have made a lot of contributions over the years. As a result, the Martial Group wants to merge us into the Martial Group as soon as it rises. It's simply a case of using someone and then discarding them!"
Director Luo understood Luo Bing's complaints. He said, "Our S Bureau and the Martial Arts Group are two departments with extremely similar powers. Both are for controlling the martial arts world. You either get eliminated or merged into the other. There is no third option!"
"After being merged into the Martial Arts Group, will you still remain in your position, Director Luo?"
Luo Bing asked.
"I have already applied to be transferred out of Bureau S!"
Director Luo said that this was the best option. After the two units merged, the head of the new unit would definitely be Su Long.
If he insists on staying, the best he can hope for is a deputy director.
If Su Long is magnanimous, that's fine; if he's not, he might be sidelined.
Therefore, rather than staying and suffering, it's better to be transferred in advance.
Because he's sensible, the higher-ups will give him a good position.
Upon hearing that Director Luo had applied for a transfer, Luo Bing was caught in a dilemma: should she stay and wait to be merged into the Martial Arts Group, or should she also apply for a transfer?
Director Luo seemed to see through her dilemma and said, "Little Luo, you are still young. If you stay, you should be able to get in touch with Su Long and receive his guidance, which will greatly benefit your cultivation!"
"I'll think about it some more!"
Luo Bing didn't make a decision immediately: "Director Luo, are we really not going to get involved in the matter concerning Tianyun Club by the Martial Group?"
How can we intervene?
Director Luo smiled wryly: "You have to understand, Su Long is the only Gang Jin expert in the Great Xia government. Before his failure, the higher-ups supported him 100%, so we simply couldn't stop him!"
"The only Gang Force officially recognized by the Great Xia?" Luo Bing sensed a hint: "Director Luo, does our Great Xia have other Gang Forces?"
"I'm not sure!"
Director Luo shook his head: "Over the years, I have looked through some old archives. During the Republic of China era, when Japan invaded, a monk and a Taoist priest appeared on the battlefields of the north and south respectively. The monk appeared at a train station and was attacked by hundreds of Japanese soldiers, but he was unharmed. The Taoist priest appeared on the battlefield to treat the wounded. Thousands of Japanese soldiers came to chase after him, but he forced them to retreat and saved the wounded."
"You suspect that this monk and Taoist priest are martial artists with the Qi Refining Realm?" Luo Bing asked excitedly.
"have no idea!"
Director Luo wasn't sure: "Those files are incomplete, only recording a few words, and the records about the monk and the Taoist are vague. Moreover, we weren't in charge at that time, so the information we obtained was even more limited. In addition, neither the monk nor the Taoist has appeared again. It's possible that they did appear but we don't know about it, so there's even less way to investigate!"
"Could the monk and the Taoist priest be from Shaolin and Wudang?" Luo Bing guessed.
"It's hard to say!"
Director Luo smiled and said, "Alright, I was just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously!"
Luo Bing nodded, knowing she wouldn't get any more information, so she didn't ask any further questions.
After leaving Director Luo's office.
Luo Bing thought for a moment and then called Gao Yan. Their S Bureau had received a lot of benefits from Gao Yan, and now that Gao Yan was being targeted, their S Bureau couldn't get involved.
So, she was still a little embarrassed.
So, he called to explain and hinted that Bureau S might be swallowed up by the Martial Group.
Fortunately, Gao Yan did not hold it against him and understood his difficulties.
On the other side.
Gao Yan was somewhat speechless.
Now that Bureau S is about to be swallowed up by the Martial Group, the medicinal wine business will probably be unable to continue.
This would reduce his monthly income by another 8 billion.
"Sister Yun, what are your relationships with the major martial arts families?" Gao Yan asked.
Tu Yun said, "I have some connections with a small number of martial arts families, but as for most of them, we keep to ourselves and don't interfere with each other!"
Gao Yan said, "I'm afraid my collaboration with Bureau S to sell alcohol won't be going to work out. How about I let you sell the alcohol? We can split the profits 50/50!"
"No need, 82 is fine!" Tu Yun waved her hand.
